Summary

This study tests whether using a CPAP breathing device during radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer can lower radiation doses to the heart and lungs. About 53 women aged 40-80 with left-sided breast cancer will receive CPAP-assisted radiotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach reduces long-term heart and lung problems from radiation.
